2016 was a WILD RIDE!

As 2016 comes to an end, I close the book on what was probably the most extensive emotional roller coaster ride I’ve ever been on. So many incredible Life happenings occurred; I got MARRIED! The Cubs Won the World Series for the first time in 108 years! I left Los Angeles for the bright lights of the Southeast! Now, that last one is amazing but it’s also been a little daunting! I basically am starting over and that can be rough. Eleven years of networking, classes, establishing relationships, workshops, plays, shows, friends, etc. in Hollywood, all out the window and I’m tasked with doing it all over again. Now, I can take much of what I learned in Los Angeles and use it to hopefully expedite the process in Nashville…

So, it’s been a tough battle, always wondering if I made the right decision (as an actor). I had some really fun wins as I was leaving L.A., which I feel has made the decision even more of a struggle. But, as I continue to read in articles written by Casting Directors and famous Actors, everyone’s journey is different and you just have to believe where you are is where you’re meant to be. I hope that’s true. For now, I continue to roll off some fun victories I’ve had in my short time in Nashville; I booked a commercial which happened to be my first audition with my new agency (batting 100% ain’t too shabby), I performed with a bunch of amazing actors and writers during Grand Divisions Production Company’s first ever “Southern Storytellers” and I booked a fun comedic sketch which I’m looking forward to shooting in January.﻿

So, I say goodbye to an absolutely crazy 2016 and hope 2017 brings massive success… to all of us! Happy New Year everyone!﻿

First Audition Southern Style!

9.29.16

What up Freaks? Well, I'm three weeks into my transition from Hollywood to Dollywood and I just had my first audition. Now, it wasn't for "The Walking Dead" (I'm still waiting for that call) it was for a local commercial but hey, we all start somewhere. And the GREAT news, not only was I a straight to callback, which I never experienced commercially in Hollywood but I was put on Avail! I then went onto a chemistry read with my fake commercial family. That was a lot of fun, though it's always weird. I'm just meeting this woman and her son and I have to act like I'm as comfortable with them as their husband/dad. Yes, I know it's part of being an actor but still that human side comes out and it's a little bizarre hugging up on a woman and playing with her child. Just writing about it makes me feel queezy. But, with all talk of being uncomfortable I'm happy to say the read went really well and my fake wife, child and I all got along great! I haven't heard back about booking the spot just yet but my agent did call to ask if I'd shave for the commercial. Obviously, I replied, "absolutely!" Casting offices, for the most part were extremely friendly in Los Angeles but many felt like Doctor's offices. What I mean by that, it's all white walls, bad lighting and very boring. The casting office I visited in Nashville this week was the exact opposite and super cool! They were set up in a very rugged and industrial building. They had sweet lighting and guitars hanging on the wall. It was a very bad ass office and it made me feel so much more comfortable... I really think I'm going to love being an actor here in the Southeast. Stay tuned for if I book that bad boy or not!

Things I Need To Get Used To

9.12.16

What up Freaks?! For those that don't know me, I'm a born and raised Phoenician! That's Phoenix, AZ for your unfamiliar types. Anyway, growing up in AZ is like growing up in the Wild West, anything goes. So, I'm used to buying liquor pretty much anywhere and everywhere seven days a week. Need a bottle of whiskey, pull into the 7-Eleven or the gas station or the Walgreens or the CVS or the... well, you get it. And I've always lived in cities that catered to the drinker; Flagstaff, Chicago and most recently Los Angeles. But now I'm in Franklin, TN and things are a little different here including how and when you can buy booze. You can buy wine and beer in grocery stores and your occasional gas station but you can only buy liquor in liquor stores. Additionally, you can only buy beer on Sundays. Liquor I kind of get but not really, but wine? Being so religious down here you think wine would be ok. But I digress. Anyway, this major difference got me thinking just how different things are living here from living in Los Angeles and some of the major changes I'm going to have to get used to. So, I wanted to share with you the ones that are most noteworthy...

- We already covered buying booze but that is major!

- Football starts 2 hours later (Pros & Cons)

- I can drink the tap water

- People actually say hello and are friendly

- People have 9 to 5 jobs!

- There's parking... and it's FREE!

- My agent actually invited me in for a meeting

- I actually got a premiere agent

- I haven't seen one homeless person

- It's safe to walk at night

- People can still smoke in some bars (Not a fan)

- Gas is $2 cheaper a gallon!!!

- It's quiet... I've only heard 1 helicopter in 2 weeks!

- It's clean and doesn't smell like garbage... or bunk weed!

- I found $3 beer! And not on Happy Hour

- There's traffic but it ain't L.A. traffic

- Not a lot of options for acting or performance classes

- Not nearly the opportunity to enjoy comedy, plays or live performances... well, other than music which is very cool.

Well, I think that covers it for now, I'm sure there will be more as I continue my adventure. Thanks for stopping by the 'ol blog!

Hanging up my Flip Flops for

Cowboy Boots!

9.6.16

What up Freaks?! Well, I moved to Nashville! Many may be thinking, what the F?! You're an actor, that's your dream! You can't leave the entertainment capital! Well, I did and you know what, I'm not giving up on my dream. In fact, I was so tired of working my ass of and never getting a break. So, as actors we're taught, if something's not working, change tactics and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm trying a different approach. I'm bringing a successful Hollywood resume to a more low key region that also happens to be blowing up entertainment wise! Why not be a medium sized fish in a small pond than guppie shit in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? So, I made the change and you know what, during my eleven years in Hollywood I never even sniffed a meeting with a decent talent agency? You may ask, how the F is that possible? You were on "Modern Family", you were on "Grey's Anatomy", you passed the Groundlings Writing Lab and are moving onto Advanced Writing Lab, you won awards, you were in a number of successful films and web series?! I know, I don't understand it either but after a couple calls I've already landed representation with one of the premiere agencies in the Southeast. So, I'm going to take the crazy momentum I garnered from an extremely successful final month in L.A. and bring the heat to the Southeast. You may think I'm crazy and I may very well be crazy but I love my current situation and you only live once. So, goodbye to long walks on the beach in flip flops and howdy to long hikes on the farm in cowboy boots.

Giddy Up!

NFL Draft... Busted!

What up freaks? Welcome out to A Guy's Guy! Ok freaks, I may be going against some of you on this one but as I sit here watching the 2013 NFL Draft... I'M BORED AS SHIT! I just don't get it! I know it's huge and I know it's fun to hear the picks, but that's just it, I'm happy reading the picks after the draft, this waiting nine minutes in between picks and listening to the same recycled bullshit we've been hearing for the past six months just drives me nuts! I can honestly say, attending the NFL Draft is not on my Bucket List. As a major NFL fan I totally understand that championships are won in the trenches, but viewership and excitement are won in the Skillz Playaz... and there ain't shit for skillz playaz this year. Truly, is this the most unsexy draft ever!? I mean seriously people, the first pick in the draft was A FUCKING OFFENSE LINEMAN OUT OF CENTRAL MICHIGAN!!! Yeah, Central Michigan!!! Let's get real, who had ever heard of this dude before the Draft except for you MAC lovers! Yeah, I'm talking to the two of you. The dude is probably a beast but Central Michigan!? Hell 4 of the first 7 picks in the draft were O Linemen. The first skillz playa was the number 8 pick, Tavon Austin out of West Virginia! This dude is a crazy fast mighty mite but that's just it, how sad is the Draft when a dude whose smaller than me is the 8th overall pick in the NFL Draft!? Thankfully freaks, for me, I was able to turn off the draft quickly and watch the Bulls/Nets game because my Miami Dolphins traded up for 3rd overall pick (Master of Disaster OLB/DE Dion Jordan out of Oregon) and the AZ Cards had the 7th overall pick (Jonathan Cooper, OL, out of North Carolina). Let me know what you freaks think. I love the draft results, I just think the draft is a bust! GO BULLS!!! As always, I'm Trevor Anthony, A Guy's Guy.

OSCAR PICKS 2013

What up Freaks!? Well, I had taped a f'ing hilarious webisode with my Oscar picks but had some camera to computer issues so had to settle for this shit. Not that my post won't be awesome, you know me freaks, but it's hard to throw down my amazing one liners in type... and was wearing a kick ass robe courtesy of the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, MD. Oh well, shit happens, and so do the Academy Awards. I'm a little conflicted this year because I feel the theme for the Oscars could be "America, Fuck yeah!" because four of the Best Picture Noms are all about great moments in American history. "Zero Dark Thirty" showcases our amazing military kicking the shit out of Osama Bin Laden's men and killing that piece of shit. "Argo" features arguably the greatest escape in the history of the world, and of course, we Americans did it... Ha Ha Ha Iran, you got so punked! "Lincoln" features one of the greatest Presidents, let alone, men in the history of our storied country. And although it dosen't specifically represent a great moment in American history, "Silver Linings Playbook" is all about football and sports betting and what the hell is more American than that!!!??? Shit, "Django Unchained" is a Western, so let's throw that shit in the mix too! But with all this American goodness you could even claim the theme of this years Academy Awards as "America, Fuck You!" Why? Because Ben Affleck, one of the best young Directors got totally screwed! There is absolutely NO reason for him to be snubbed of an Oscar Nom, NONE! And although I don't feel as strongly about this, Kathryn Bigelow definitely deserves a nom as well. For those two to be shut out is absolutely ridiculous! Who would I drop you ask? Michael Haneke "Armour" & Benh Zeitlin "Beasts of the Southern Wild". Are both deserving of an Oscar Nom? Absolutely, but not over Ben and Kathryn, sorry, that's the fuckin' truth! Ok, enough of my rambles here are my picks. First my pick I want and second my pick to win! Supporting Actress Pick I Want: Jacki Weaver - I love her, she's the sweetest mom EVER!!! Pick to Win: Sally Field - "Lincoln" is going to roll Supporting Actor Pick I Want: Tommy Lee Jones - Toughest to pick because I love everyone in this category but TLJ was off the charts! Pick to Win: Tommy Lee Jones - See above Original Screenplay: One of my favorite categories! Pick I Want: "Flight" - What a fuckin' story! Pick to Win: "Armour" - Because it's nominated for Best Picture, duh, and it sounds like something that wins an Oscar. Adapted Screenplay Pick I Want: "Argo" - I LOVED THE SHOT OUT OF THIS MOVIE AND WANT IT TO WIN EVERYTHING!!! Pick to Win: "Lincoln" - See Supporting Actress Best Actress Pick I Want: Jessica Chastain - She was a bad ass Pick to Win: Jessica Chastain - Just because... Best Actor Pick I Want: Bradley Cooper - He's such a sleeper, this would be awesome Pick to Win: Daniel Day Lewis - Cuz he's fuckin' insane and wins every time, and deservedly so! Best Director Pick I Want: Ben Affleck - Because he's amazing and he deserves it! DAMN YOU ACADEMY!!! Pick to Win: Steve Spielberg - Duh!!! Best Picture Pick I Want: "Argo" - Have I not explained myself enough Pick to Win: "Lincoln" - Have I not explained myself enough Well freaks, enjoy the boring ass show. Seth MacFarlane, the man behind "Family Guy", "American Dad!" and "Ted", there's no way he screws this up, right!? Wrong, based on his lackluster teasers, I think we may be in trouble. I really hope I'm wrong. Anyway, drink your faces off, have some fun and utilize my brilliance to win your damn Oscar Pool! As always Freaks, I'm Trevor Anthony, A Guy's Guy. FOLLOW Me: @TrevorAnthony﻿

What up Freaks!? Welcome back to a guy's guy! So, what is this guy doing for Valetine's Day or as I like to refer to it, Lonely Hearts Club? Well, I'm going to work and then I'm saddling up at the bar, most likely Rockin' Fish and celebrating my originality! Yep, that's what I think of Valentine's Day, unoriginal. If you need a Halmark Holiday to take your girl out then you're a F'ing moron. Seriously, the fact that there even needs to be a day to remind dudes to be romantic is pretty pathetic. But then again, I know some dudes who are a little less than Casanova. I know, I know, it's easy for me to say being the single man that I am, but you know what, I'm right! I'm not single because I can't find myself a lady, I'm single because I haven't found the right lady and I'm not going to settle like so many schmucks out there. Anyway, back to V Day! I honestly don't mind if you do something for your lovely on V Day, you sort of have too, just make sure you do something for her throughout the year as well. I mean really, V Day is a trap. You could be the best boyfriend/husband in the world but if you don't do anything on V Day you're screwed, kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

Now that I think of it, writing a Valentine's Day blog as the guy's guy seems kind of unoriginal. So with that, I'm gonna keep it short. If you want to be unoriginal on V Day then follow these tips...

1. Schedule your date during V Day week, not on V Day... Bonus, you'll get a better reservation because all the unoriginal dudes will be bombarding the good restaurants on V Day.2. Make your girl din din... Hell, I can't cook either but this went over pretty well when I did it... Boom!3. Don't buy roses, buy something else, some cool type of flower... Shit I don't know what they're called man, just go to a florist and if it looks F'ing cool, buy that shit!

As 2016 comes to an end, I close the book on what was probably the most extensive emotional roller coaster ride I’ve ever been on. So many incredible Life happenings occurred; I got MARRIED! The Cubs Won the World Series for the first time in 108 years! I left Los Angeles for the bright lights of the Southeast! Now, that last one is amazing but it’s also been a little daunting! I basically am starting over and that can be rough.

I basically am starting over and that can be rough. Eleven years of networking, classes, establishing relationships, workshops, plays, shows, friends, etc. in Hollywood, all out the window and I’m tasked with doing it all over again. Now, I can take much of what I learned in Los Angeles and use it to hopefully expedite the process in Nashville…

So, it’s been a tough battle, always wondering if I made the right decision (as an actor). I had some really fun wins as I was leaving L.A., which I feel has made the decision even more of a struggle. But, as I continue to read in articles written by Casting Directors and famous Actors, everyone’s journey is different and you just have to believe where you are is where you’re meant to be. I hope that’s true. For now, I continue to roll off some fun victories I’ve had in my short time in Nashville; I booked a commercial which happened to be my first audition with my new agency (batting 100% ain’t too shabby), I performed with a bunch of amazing actors and writers during Grand Divisions Production Company’s first ever “Southern Storytellers” and I booked a fun comedic sketch which I’m looking forward to shooting in January.

So, I say goodbye to an absolutely crazy 2016 and hope 2017 brings massive success… to all of us! Happy New Year everyone!

BIO:

What up Freaks? I'm a total guy's guy who also happens to be an actor, host, producer and writer. Hell, I like to have my hands in every form of entertainment. And well, I just left the ultra craziness of Hollywood for the more laid back country... well, Nashville. So, as an L.A. transplant I'm going to take you along with me and my adventures. So saddle up and enjoy the ride as we examine what it's like to go from Hollywood to Dollywood or in my case; flip flops to cowboy boots!
